FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Falcons (6-4) set their sights on the Denver Broncos (5-5), hoping to reach a new altitude in more ways than one.
Atlanta could be in for a battle before the bye, however. The Falcons listed 16 players, including Kirk Cousins, on their estimated practice report Wednesday. Cousins was one of nine players limited in the team's walk-through.
The Broncos had every player accounted for at Wednesday's practice, but key defensive weapon Zach Allen was one of two players limited in the session. Denver's defense is one of the best in the league and a big factor in the team's early success.
If Atlanta earns its seventh win of the season in Week 11, it'll be the earliest the Falcons have reached win No. 7 since 2012.
This week, the pool of experts is mixed in their predictions, but they slightly lean toward one team. Check out the full picks to see which one:
